52 ANCESTORS IN 52 WEEKS 2018 WEEK 38:EBENEZER DUNHAM OF PLYMOUTH, MA

My 6x great grandfather Ebenezer Dunham was born in Plymouth, Ma. on 24 Feb 1692.  On 12 Dec 1719 he married Abigail Smith in the nearby town of Middleborough Ma. He was a farmer, and had enough property to be divided between his children when he died intestate in on 21 Jan 1771.

His children were:

Abigail, b. 23 Nov 1720
Samuel, b. 9 Sep 1722
Ebenezer b. 21 Sep 1724
John,   b. 12 Jul 1726
Moses, b. Jul 1728
Mary, b. Jun 1730
Barnabas, b. Dec 1732
William, b. Jun 1734

Most of the children were still alive when Ebenezer died and are named in the settlement of his estate. His son John, my 5x great grandfather, was administrator of the estate and seems to have had problems with his siblings. I'll discuss that in my post about him.
